Reviews
"Many scholars would like to ignore Hegel's 'Anthropology' because it does not accord with their view of what he ought to have said. But not Allegra de Laurentiis, who reveals that the 'Anthropology' is far from being an embarrassment; it contains profound reflections that illuminate many aspects of Hegel's philosophy. This important book makes clear that the 'Anthropology' is not just a Hegelian cabinet of curios, but an integral part of Hegel's system that has been unduly neglected. In particular, de Laurentiis's discussion of Hegel's fascinating treatment of madness is the clearest, and the most interesting, that I have read." --Glenn Alexander Magee, author of Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition, "Many scholars would like to ignore Hegel's Anthropology because it does not accord with their view of what he ought to have said.

De Laurentiis examines Hegel's rich analyses of the mind-body relation, dreams, and psychiatric illness, and relates them, with subtle attention to detail, both to his metaphysical logic and to the historical context on which he draws--a context extending from Aristotle to eighteenth and nineteenth-century scientists, such as Blumenbach and Bichat. De Laurentiis also highlights the enduring relevance of Hegel's ideas for the modern understanding of psychosomatic states and mental illness. Her book will be essential reading for all those interested in Hegel's philosophy of mind and spirit." --Stephen Houlgate, author of Hegel's 'Phenomenology of Spirit': A Reader's Guide "For all the stress upon 'embodiment' in contemporary philosophy and especially in Hegel scholarship, these discussions remain stymied by various versions or specters of mind/body dualism. Hegel's subtle and penetrating re-examination of Aristotle's De Anima and of a wealth of historical and contemporaneous medical literature shows that there is no problem of how mind and body interact or relate, because within the anthropological soul, they are identical, insofar as animation is the form of the soul's embodiment, whilst the soul's embodiment is its embodiment, not its vehicle, nor its mere functional(ist) 'realization.' Hegel develops a cogent, illuminating non-reductive identity theory, by addressing the question, 'How must an organic being be structured such that it affords mentality?' (Hegel's philosophy of nature has, inter alia, addressed the question, 'How must nature be structured, such that some of it affords organic life?') Many historical theories which Hegel critically examines are shown by de Laurentiis to remain germane insofar as they have direct contemporary counterparts. This is a very lucid, incisive, insightful, well-matured work of philosophical, critical, historical and textual scholarship; a major achievement equally useful to students, to philosophers, to Hegel experts and to scholars in allied disciplines. Rich in insights and revelations, judicious in interpretation and assessment, it is a philosophical pleasure and benefit at every turn." --Kenneth R. Westphal, coauthor of The Palgrave Hegel Handbook, "For all the stress upon 'embodiment' in contemporary philosophy and especially in Hegel scholarship, these discussions remain stymied by various versions or specters of mind/body dualism.

Westphal, coauthor of The Palgrave Hegel Handbook, "De Laurentiis' masterful book will change our ways of understanding Hegel's concept of spirit in its entirety. By leading us back to spirit's humble animal-human beginnings, this historically and exegetically rigorous work brings to the foreground a discipline central to Hegel's philosophy yet heretofore neglected. This book shows that there is in Hegel's Anthropology a variety of issues resonating with our contemporary sensibility that knocks you dizzy." --Angelica Nuzzo, author of Approaching Hegel's Logic, Obliquely: Melville, Molière, Beckett, "This excellent book is a wide-ranging and very welcome study of Hegel's unjustly neglected Anthropology.
